Vallforners Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Vallforners marsh is a reservoir that belongs to the Vallforners creek (Besòs river basin), created by a dam located in the municipality of Cànoves i Samalús, in the region of Vallès Oriental. It was built between 1985 and 1989 and has as a special feature the fact that it was the first swamp in Catalonia whose dam is made of stone and compacted earth.

Castanyer d'en Cuch

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Castanyer de Can Cuch (or Castanyer Gros de la Casa del Bosc) is a monumental tree, the largest in Catalonia, with tables and chairs next to it. In 1960, a charcoal burner took advantage of the cavorca of the tree to settle for a year and a half, which gives an idea of the magnitude of the interior of the tree.

Collet dels Pous d'en Bessa Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

the Collet dels Pous d'en Bessa (1187.5m) is located between the Turó del Pi Novell (1215m) to the SE and the Turó d'en Cuc (1237m) to the NW.
We find a bench where we can calmly contemplate the Matagalls, the Agudes and the Turó de l'Home.
Quite a luxury.

Pou de Gel d'en Vesa (Devil's Well)

Highlight • Monument

The Pou d'en Vesa is in the beech wood north of the ridge between the hills of Cuc and Pi Novell. To access it, you must go up forest tracks from El Samont or along the trail that follows the Sender del Pi Novell (PR-C 139). It is a large circular ice well that, despite not being covered, is in a very good state of preservation. In the past, snow and ice from the mountains were stored there to be transported to the plain in hot weather.
The Pou d'en Vesa is also known as "Pou del Diable". Winter was approaching and there was no time to make a well and store the ice in it. In order not to lose the "harvest" of that year, the former owner of Can Vesa asked the devil to build one in just one night. That's how he did it. That is why the Pou d'en Vesa is also known as the "Devil's Well". But of course everything has a price and periodically the devil would lure sheep, cows and even people into the well and devour them. On Saint Susanna's day, the milkiest cow disappeared. Vessa didn't think twice and ran upstairs. He could still hear the animal's bellows coming from inside the well. With a pitchfork, Bessa began to dislodge the wall of the well so that he could make a ramp with the debris so that the cow could get out. When he already had a large part of the wall on the ground, the devil stretched out his hand and cow and Bessa were swallowed inside the well. All the neighbors went to look for them but only found the half-ruined well and the few remains at the bottom. Be careful, then!
